Title: A process
Filed: 2011-09-15
Abstract: The invention provides processes for reducing the antimalarial drug precursor compound, artemisinin, into dihydroartemisinin (DHA) under continuous flow conditions, and to apparatuses for carrying out the reduction reaction. The invention extends to processes for producing a range of different artemisinin-derived drugs from dihydroartemisinin, and also to apparatuses used for carrying out these reactions. Preferred solvents are tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the biomass-derived 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF). A preferred reducing agent is superhydride (LiBHEt3) used at room temperature. The continuous flow reactor used is preferably a microreactor, microfluidic device reactor or a compact reactor with passive or active mixing comprising at least one reaction chamber or a series of interconnected vessels. A microfluidic device reactor is most preferred. DHA may subsequently be reacted to produce various artemisinin-derived drugs. This may be achieved by using an apparatus consisting of interconnected reactor modules or a single reactor divided into separate sections.

Title: Wireless data communication
IPC: H04W4/80
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to wireless communication between a master device and a slave device, wherein: the master device is arranged to continually transmit request messages to the slave device; the slave device is arranged to transmit reply messages in reply only to some of said request messages; wherein the slave device transmits a reply message in reply to a request message if: a predetermined period has elapsed since it transmitted its last reply message; or, the request message contains data.

Title: Process and apparatus for measuring foundation injection pressure
Inventor: HEIMGARTNER HANS
IPC: E21B33/138
Filed: 1981-08-20
Granted: 1985-12-05
Abstract: A pressure measuring section is arranged between a pipe section connected with an injection pump and a pipe end section or portion. The pressure measuring section is provided with a pressure measuring location which is determined by a measuring chamber arranged internally of a housing portion. Within such measuring chamber or compartment there is located a pressure-impinged portion of a pressure measuring transducer which generates electrical signals in accordance with the pressure prevailing in the injection medium. These electrical signals are inputted by a cable to a signal evaluation location. The measuring location is located in close proximity to an outlet opening of the pipe end portion or section. Between this outlet opening and the pressure measuring location there is arranged a packing device which seals the annular or ring-shaped compartment between the pipe end section and the wall of the borehole. Since the pressure measurement is accomplished internally of the infeed line or infeed line arrangement for the injection medium there is obtained a measuring result which is not falsified. Because of the close proximity of the measuring location to the injection location the measured pressure is essentially equal to the injection pressure at the injection location.
